Unai Emery received his doctorate in Munich. His approach was perfect and his changes were key. He handcuffed Bayern in the first half and the departure of Chukwueze and Pedraza put the finishing touches on the German club. The Nigerian goal goes down in Villarreal history. The beast was Raúl Albiol, chosen MVP of the match. Huge central party, an example of sacrifice of the yellow team.
Rollers: He conveyed the best thing a goalkeeper can convey against a rival like Bayern: security. Above and below. He only conceded a goal in which he could not do anything.
Foyth: He suffered with Coman, especially in the second half and more after seeing a yellow card in the 59th minute. But even so, he did not make any mistakes.
Albiol:A beast. Huge his match, his tie in general. Always attentive, a born leader of the defense. Not a single mistake. That said, beastly.
Paul Torres: A test of maturity and talent. He gave the team the outlet he needed to take the pressure off Bayern.
Estupinan: Sané, one of the best among the Germans, wanted to look for tickles again and again, but he really found them rarely. His performance was regular, constant.
Capua: Tactically, perfect. He knew how to place himself between the lines to bail out water and had the physique and talent to give oxygen to the group.
Equal: It is true that a bad pass from him at the start preceded Lewandowski’s goal, but his sacrifice in defense was absolute. Moreover, the counterattack in a goal for history went through his boots.
Coquelin: A key lung in the two games of the tie. With less presence in this match with the ball, his movements were decisive so that Bayern did not find any gaps in the middle.
Lo Celso: Less participatory than in the first leg, although he fell apart like all the yellow players.
Gerard: He oxygenated the team in the outings in which he participated and his was the assist on Chukwueze’s goal.
Danjuma: His presence forced the Bayern defense to be on alert. He had two moments to unsettle Neuer, though in one he was offside and in another he went wide.
They also played…
Chukwueze:He replaced Coquelin in 85′. He rushed into the first one he had, which was as soon as he left. But the second time he appeared… a goal for Villarreal history.
Pedraza: Substituted Danjuma in 85′.
Aurier: He replaced Parejo in 92′.
